Americans Yak It Up On Mobile Phones
Sure, those in Europe and Asia may be more likely to use text messaging and other features of their mobile phones, but you certainly can't shut up us Americans. We spent an average of 619 minutes per month chatting away on our mobiles (thank goodness for huge bucket o' minute plans). Coming in with a weak second place was Canada at 344 minutes. The average across all markets studied came in at 235 minutes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
